Product Description

The National Geographic Guide to Caribbean Family Vacations offers detailed profiles of the best family-oriented tours, activities, and programs at one hundred vacation destinations throughout the Caribbean. Each of the wide range of options presented in these pages is designed for families that want to be active or to immerse themselves in the local culture while having fun together. The book includes family-vacation spots for every age group—from preschoolers to teenagers.

Covering the Caribbean islands as well as coastal Central America (everything from Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula and Belize to Costa Rica and Panama), this handy volume shows families how and where they can enjoy a wealth of activities:

• Dive with stingrays on Grand Cayman
• Swim with dolphins in Jamaica
• Hike in a medicinal rain forest on the tiny Leewar Island of Nevis
• Learn the local Garifuna language of Belize

Including all the necessary practical details, each entry gives parents the sort of insider information and field-tested planning tools they need to guarantee a successful and memorable family vacation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything You need to know about the Caribbean, May 22, 2003

By	Wayne Poverstein (Morris Plains, NJ USA) - See all my reviews

This book is a wonderful guide to the Caribbean.........It covers everything any family would want to know when visiting the Caribbean. Several ideas presented in the book were helpful on our recent vacation. I have several of Ms Stapen's books and have found them all to be quite informative and worthwhile.!!!!!!!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Lacks ratings, December 9, 2006

By	A. G. (MA) - See all my reviews

Book was informative. The lack of any critical ratings, reviews or "best lists" was disappointing. This is the reason why I buy travel books.
